If you know anyone who voted for these MAGA fools let them know they owe the country a sincere and continuous apology.

TY, TJ! 😎
Love this high energy pack you put together.
I am humbled more and more each day to be running in the circles of all these awesome resisters!
The community of builders, engagers, informers, resisters, reformers... it's all here, folks!

Perfect! Stay positive folks!

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

The cracks in the MAGA armor become more like canyons...good!
In a remarkable sequence of events at the State Capitol in Florida, Republican legislative leaders rejected Gov. Ron DeSantis’s call for a special session on illegal immigration, called one of their own instead and, in an exceedingly rare move, overrode one of his budget vetoes.
Republican Lawmakers in Florida Rebel Against DeSantis in Rare Power Move
In a special session on Monday, leaders seemed to be declaring their independence from a governor who has wielded so much power that legislative sessions have become largely predictable rubber stamps.

Nice to see a Rep. from Colorado/Dem, Jason Crow, calling out this outrageous behavior IN the CAPITOL Building! WTF?!?!
Jason Crow: "You cannot tell me that releasing militia leaders, insurrectionists, criminals back onto the street because it's what you did to placate your political base makes us any more safe ... it's creating an environment that gives permission to extremists to be more bold"

Excellent reflections on Pres. Carter, as well as the pending continuous malaise of the dreadful Trumpster.
After Jimmy Carter’s progressive environmental agenda, in came Reagan, moving America backwards:

“Forget conservation. Forget the need to drive smaller cars that emitted less carbon dioxide. Forget the idea of constraining the fossil fuel industry.”

Biden IS a great President. Period!
“I am confident that historians, with the clarity of hindsight, will focus less on Biden’s softening voice and tentative gait — and more on all that he managed to achieve in a single term. He . . . leaves the nation much better off than he found it.”

Opinion | Time caught up with Biden. It will also prove him right.
Biden inherited a mess. He leaves the U.S. in far better shape, at home and abroad.

Sharlet spells it out, folks. Hegseth is a new level of low!
Problems with Pete Hegseth ranked from very bad to way, way worse: 6. drunkenness (common); 5. incompetence (common); 4. corruption (common); 3. raving bigotry (common); 2. alleged rape (less common); 1. Proposing military attack on US cities to exterminate all enemies. (That’s a new one).

Excellent insights on the dreadful Elon...we all need to banish him, X, and his ugly F'ing "pickups." America doesn't need his vehicles, ego or racism!
This is a fascinating turn of events
